GRIFFENS CC have this year chosen to go with a theme that has been spoken about amongst the club for many years.

Their 2023 cart will take inspiration from the song This Ole House by Shakin' Stevens.

A spokesperson for Griffens CC said: "As a club we are extremely excited and looking forward to producing our first carnival cart since 2019, after having the honour and privilege of touring with the pageant cart in 2022.

"At the beginning of this year the shed was empty and after starting from fresh this year building a new chassis, converting a lorry unit, and building new cart and trailers, it has definitely been fully packed with building.

"A huge thank you goes to everybody who helped with this mammoth task, as this year sees the club stronger with new and old members returning to push to the finish line."
